I am honored to  serve as the principal at Tavola Elementary. My goal is to instill a love for learning and to build positive relationships with the students, staff and parents. I am committed to academic excellence by guaranteeing all students are provided high-quality instruction and support they need to be successful individuals.  I believe that the students at Tavola Elementary deserve the best! 

I am in my 23^rd year of education.  I have served as a classroom teacher for 10 years, an instructional coach for 5 years and an assistant principal for 4 years.  This is my fourth year as an elementary principal and I absolutely love what I do. My family and I live in Kingwood.  My husband is a small business owner in the Porter area and we have 3 amazing boys. 

I look forward to an amazing year leading the students, staff and community at Tavola Elementary! 

Thank you for all your support,

Kristie Kelley, Principal

Howdy Timberwolves! My name is Kyle Whileylman, and I am the new assistant principal at Tavola Elementary.  This will be my 23rd year in education.  I have taught 5th grade and served as an assistant principal at the elementary and high school levels.  I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Sam Houston State University (Eat 'em up Kats!!!).  I have been married to my wife Sarah for 21 years, and we have two children: Tyler and Emily.  When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, serving in my church, watching sports, and listening to 80's music.  I can't wait to meet and serve the students and families of Tavola Elementary, where we are committed to creating a bright future of leaders and learners.
